MOTHERHOOD.

Ihold within my arms to-day
A priceless bit Of mortal clay;
Divinely fashioned, and SO fair
The angels wen may kinship share.
Ny soul with gratitude is filed;
My heart with mother love Is thrilled;
Ny eyes brim Ger with newborn JOY,
While gazing on my cherub boy.
o, precious onel through tears I see
A mighty task awaiting me:
My happy sky grows overcast
LIES duties loom SO grand, so vast.
To shield from wrong. to right incline
This little life now linked to mine.
Divine the gift. Oh. may the mould
A heart Of truth and honor hold.

From out the tangles Of each day,
To guide him safe to manhood's prime,
And all the glory shall be Thine.

A Remarkable Austrian Giant.

Herr Winkelmeier, the Austrian giant,
is eight feet nine inches in height, topping
Chang, the Chinese giant, by a foot. Herr
Winkelmeier was born in F~riedburg, Aus
tria, In 1855, and is twenty-one years Of
age. He is said to have been Of ordinary
stature until the age Of fourteen, and at
Berlin he received the alarming informa-
ton from Prof. Virchow that he would
probably continue growing uptil the age
Of twenty-five. The reach of his arms Is
about ten and one-half feet, and he spans
two octaves on the pianoforte.

The Enemy Of woman.

A review of a peculiarly ferocious COM
plexion is said to be on the point Of ap-
pearing in Vienna. Its title, Der Frauen-
feind (Anglice, 1.-THE Enemy OF Woman')
indicates b line it purposes taking up.
The editor, one Herr Crosse, has set before
himself the object of emancipating man
from his subsection to ''that doll, woman,
who idiots idealize and fools bow down
before as to a divinity" Herr Grose is
good enough, however, to notify that there
are exceptions to this de~nunciation, and
generally exempts whole classes Of the
sex from the scope OF his review. His
venture seems to be made in good earnest,
and is likely to pay its way, for Of course
every Viennese lady will be only too n Z
ious to hand in her subscription.

Pulaski, in addition to having a mineral
spring which is attracting some attention

to say the least, say the New Castle (Pa.)

wilson, and bears b name Of Jip. The
animal is o paragon of knowledge, appa-
rently. A few days ago Alexander Hodge,
the ~well-known barber Of Pulaski, was
walking up-street when Jip ran in front Of
him, and Mr.. Hodge planted the toe Of his
boot on Jib's body. The dog ran

STORIES OF DuELlNo.
Some Amusing Anecdotes of Men Engag
In 1Satisfying Honor"

SO"0 A"u8luk AuCC0OC68 OI MEN LuS8B00
In satisfying Honor"
The duel arose out of the ancient ju-
dicial combat, known as the trial by
ordeal. One form of this trial was the
Wager of Battel, which consisted of a
personal combat between two antagon-
lists in the presence of the judges. The
principle of the trial was q reliance on
the immediate providence of God to in
terpose to give victory to the innocent.
The practice outlasted the principle.
The duel took the place of the judicial
combat, and a point of honor, which
sanctioned revenge and murder, was
allowed to thrust aside an appeal to
God. The motive was no longer to OBJ
tain justice, but to avenge an insult by
numbering the insulting man.
Dueling became SO fashionable that a
man, if challenged, had to fight or sub
NIT to social ostracism. But even in
those days, here and there a man was
to be found who refused to fight a duel
because it vas a sin against God. A
brave soldier once refused a challenge
| for reasons which were set forth in the
following lines:
"What, you're afraid, thee?' "Yes, I am
you're right;
\ I am afraid to sin, but not to fight.
I fear not man nor devil; but though. odd,
I'm not ashamed to own, I fear my God"
The absurdity of two men settling a
point of honor by shooting at each other
was seen even by those who seconded
them.
Two attorneys once fought a duel,
and one of them shot away the others
coat-tail.
"If your antagonist" said the good
shots second, chad been a client,
you would have hit his pocket"
The witty remark created a general
laugh, under the influence of which the
antagonists shook hands and made up.
Two men, engaged in Satisfying
honor" were so nervous that each shot
wide of his antagonist. One of the Sec
onds suggested that honor being salts
fed, the duelists should shake hands.
THAT is wholly unnecessary" re-
piled the other second; ''their hands
have been shaking this half-hour."
The two English radicals and dema.
gogues, Horne Tooke and John Wilkes,
once %quarreled. Tooke challenged
Wilkes, who, being then sheriff of Lon.
don. returned him this mastery re.

THEW tell bic stories in Connecticut

They tell big stories in Connecticut
about the skill of Andreas Wakeman,
of Vista, a mighty hunter. One of the
last is to the effect that the other day
his dog ran a red fox into a big pile Of
stones. While Andreas was trying to
capture the fox he spied a gray one in
the same hole. He seized the gray fox
by the hind leg and commenced to pull.
The fox finally let go SO suddenly that
Mr.. Wakeman fell backward, and as he
lay on his back, still holding onto that
fox's leg, his dog and a big coon tum-
bled on top of him. The two foxes,
the coon, the dog and Mr.. Wakeman
were all tangled up, but in the end the
two foxes and the coon were killed, and
!! MI. Wakeman and his dog were happy.
